Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) flyer (1966). Pretty good lineup! We have a great mini-archive of EAT materials here in the library that was donated by Billy Kluver. -ds

Thanks to MoMA Library for sharing this great flyer from 9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering, a collaboration between artists and engineers conceived by Rauschenberg and Billy Klüver. If you are interested in learning more about 9 Evenings, the website for the Daniel Langlois Foundation’s 9 Evenings collection is an excellent resource.

Reblog: detail from Rauschenberg’s Short Circuit captured by a visitor at the Art Institute of Chicago. The museum’s website provides some background info on the work: Rauschenberg submitted Short Circuit for an annual exhibition at Stable Gallery in 1955. He invited friends to produce small pieces that could be smuggled into the exhibition in his cabinet-shaped construction. A painting by his former wife, artist Susan Weil, appears behind the right door, and a flag composition by Jasper Johns once sat behind the left door. (It went missing in 1965 and was replaced at Rauschenberg’s invitation with a facsimile by the artist Sturtevant.) The work also includes a Judy Garland autograph, an image of Abraham Lincoln, and a postcard of grazing cows, among other items. While Short Circuit captures aspects of a collective American experience, it also ranks among the most personal of Rauschenberg’s combines. rinsquared: Look InsideArt Institute, Chicago, ILMArch 9, 2013 I really loved visiting the Art Institute, for my second time, on the recent Midwest trip. I saw lots of neat pieces including this beautiful Rauschenberg Combine - Short Circuit (Combine Painting), 1955. I have always liked his work, and collages/combines in general, but this one had a unique charm. Perhaps because it invites the viewer to look closer?
